The woman recalled, “That year, we had two women in labor at the same time. One was this lady right here; the other was the woman on his phone. Their due dates were almost the same.

“This lady arrived first. She had a tough labor and nearly fainted. We called her husband in to encourage her. But he just stared at the other woman in the next bed–the one from Jackson’s phone.

“Only when we reminded him did he look at his wife. Still, he secretly told us to save the other woman.

“His wife had a rough birth. It took ages to deliver her girl. The other woman had an easier time and also had a girl. But since she arrived later, the two babies were born almost at the same time.

“We were short on staff. After the births, the babies were put together. We attended to the mothers. I checked on the babies. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the husband switch the babies secretly.

“The man looked influential. I didn’t dare say anything, so I pretended not to see. He even nodded to the other woman. By then, his wife was unconscious from the difficult labor.

“The family of three were back in the ward. The other woman had no husband. After resting, she regained her strength. She carried “her own child” out. I saw her leave the hospital.

“I was uneasy. I secretly followed her. I saw her place her hand on the baby’s neck. The baby was crying loudly but suddenly fell silent. Then, she threw the baby in a trash bin.

“I was afraid of being caught. I didn’t dare get closer, so I kept my distance. After the mother left, I went to check on the baby, but it was already gone. I had no idea where it went.”

The woman slowly recalled this past event. Over ten years ago, their village was poor. Abandoning babies was

common.

She added in her heart, ‘The family whose baby was swapped seemed well–off. During the birth, the wife wished for a little princess. She must have loved her own child. If not for the swap, that child would have had a happy life.‘
